NFL Data Machine Learning Project

For my Machine Learning course, I am working on a semester long project analyzing NFL player data. I hope to be able to predict NFL player performance and predict how players will perform in comparison to each other. My metric for measuring player performance will be fantasy football points.

All of my data comes from the nflverse package in R (more info here). I will be using tidyverse and tidymodels for EDA, data munging, and modeling.

This project is in its early stages, but I will continue to update as it progresses. It was inspired by the Fantasy Football Analytics App as a way to take the analytics that the app uses ever further and provide helpful predictions for users. To see my progress, check out the repository.
